Karmeleon

- I agree with the poster further up, it looked like the designers took some spare plasic from an industrial refrigerator manufacturers factory and glued them on to look as daft as possible.
I don't know how anyone can rate it highly.
The problem with sleepy eyes is that it just looks like the lights are not working properly
(and they are pointing down at the floor)
- they don't even look good, it just looks like the owner is embarrassed about pop up lights in which case they should do a proper swap for sealed units or not buy a pop up lights car in the first place
Unless you are talking about the proper fitted shorter lights which look better
- either way, esp on the mk1, the full pop up height is the best and is part of it's DNA.

like MOST aspects of the mk1 it just doesn't need changing nor can it be improved with simple parts/add ons, and imo it doesn't need them other than some mild cleaning up/modernising in certain areas
(clear indicator lights, rear bumper lower smoothing if you can, possibly de-striping/de badging of loud
'TOYOTA' logos if that's not your thing).
A lot of these mods are stuff people do just because they can/are bored with a car and want to personlise it, I did some mad stuff to my old Carlton
(it had a factory bodykit though and looked quite decent at the time) but it never looked completely out of place or wacky as a lot of MK1 mr2 mods do.
And that's why people should get their
'body mod' phase over and done with on normal
/ max power cars before buying a mk1 mr2 as you are doing nothing to improve it by sticking on a karmeleon or sleepy eyes.
All imo, but at 34 I have the hindsight to realise that certain things I did in the past were really not called for and were done just because I could but most people were probably shaking their head in pity for me when I drove past
(not MR2 as I've never done ANY wild mods to them).
